Introduction and all of that

Hello Kind Readers,

I've found myself gravitating towards the stouts and darker beers lately and I wanted to jot down a few notes to keep track of what I've had.

I've had some BevMo gift cards in my wallet (Thanks, Jay and Renee!) for a while and the wallet is getting too big, so I thought I'd see if I could empty it a bit.

So off to BevMo Barb and I went.

I was looking for Milk Stouts that I had just heard about.  They are supposed to be a bit sweeter than the stouts.  I ended up with some others and didn't see any milk stouts, but at check out the clerk mentioned they did have them, and I had him show me where.  So next time I'll get a couple of those.

But this time around we have:

• Young's Double Chocolate  Stout
• Taddy Porter
• St. Peter's Cream Stout
• Murphy's Stout

Most of these are British, which I've found in the past to be to dry for my taste.  Murphy's is in the fridge and I'll have one after my round of bridge this afternoon.

 One of the issues with some of these is that they come in a 20+ ounce bottle and if I drink it myself and the alcohol is a bit high, I'm pretty useless for the rest of the day.  But I'm up to the challenge!  Murphy's is a 4 pack of 16 ounce guys.  I think they have the magic carbonation depth bomb in them, so they might not be a full 16 ounces.  I'll let you all know. 

 Cheers, Rich
